Will give brainliest What is ozone depletion in simple words

Chemistry

Yuri [45]2 years ago

Answer:

Ozone depletion, gradual thinning of Earth’s ozone layer in the upper atmosphere caused by the release of chemical compounds containing gaseous chlorine or bromine from industry and other human activities. The thinning is most pronounced in the polar regions, especially over Antarctica. Ozone depletion is a major environmental problem because it increases the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches Earth’s surface, which increases the rate of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and genetic and immune system damage. The Montreal Protocol, ratified in 1987, was the first of several comprehensive international agreements enacted to halt the production and use of ozone-depleting chemicals. As a result of continued international cooperation on this issue, the ozone layer is expected to recover over time.

Answer:

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when the chlorine and bromine atoms in the atmosphere come in contact with ozone and destroy the ozone molecules. One chlorine can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. It is destroyed more quickly than it is created

If 100.0 grams of na3n decompose to form sodium and nitrogen, how many moles of sodium are formed? write and balance equation be
Yakvenalex [24]
The balanced equation is:
2Na_3N-\ \textgreater \ 6Na + N_2

Then proceed with the following equations.


100g Na_3N*(\frac{1molNa_3N}{82.98gNa_3N})*(\frac {6mol Na}{2molNa_3N})*(\frac {22.99gNa}{1molNa})=83.12gNa

The answer is 83.12gNa.

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

What is the concentration of a solution which is 2g in 150cm3 in g/dm3
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

13.33 g/dm³

Explanation:

Concentration (g/dm³)= mass(g) ÷ volume (dm³)

Now you need to convert 150 cm³ to dm³

1000cm³ = 1 dm³

thus, 150 cm3= 150 ÷ 1000

= 15dm³

and you already have mass in grams

so concentration  = 2 ÷ 0.15

= 13.33 g/dm³ and there you go.. solved ;)
